Welcome to Litsy!

When a magazine photo shoot goes wrong, Angie and Mel are forced to bake cupcakes with the magazine staff. There‘s a lot of drama in this one, and it‘s not just the murder! Good listen and story, though I‘m now a bit exasperated with Mel. 😂

It was nice to return to this series after a brief pause—I feel like I can only take Angie in small doses. The cupcake bakery heads to a rodeo to sell cupcakes, and one of the employees because prime suspect in a murder. Good cozy mystery, and especially fun to listen to while baking (cookies, not cupcakes, but it‘s still baking).

A prequel to the Agatha Raisin series (#SeriesLove2024) that is set as Agatha begins her PR business. It was okay and like many novella struggled to truly tell the story. Not at all necessary to reading the rest of the series.

I used to read this series when it first came out, but lost track around book 13. This is book 18 so I‘ve missed a few entries. However, while nothing is wrong with it, I think it‘s hard for both writers and readers to maintain momentum in long running series. Don‘t feel the need to read the ones I skipped and I can see missing a few more until the series end without feeling like I‘m missing anything.

I have decided to keep my reading light or uplifting. This entry in the Ellie Avery series is an engaging addition to my list. Ellie‘s organizing business is sidelined & she finds herself caught up in parenthood & planning too many parties. Ellie discovers two dead bodies in one grave, joins the search for a missing person and can‘t help but begin her own investigations. Three ⭐️ for a few interesting plot twists, Ellie & nice narration.

Feeling a little yucky today so I'm taking a break from everything with Mrs. Fletcher

Tagged was an easy choice for worst read of July. I just didn‘t care about any of the characters or the drama manufactured by the MC.
